Meeting 16 Grades 2-3

History-- we talked about arches in Roman architecture, and viewed pictures of the Colosseum and the Roman aqueduct.   We also learned that the Romans used arches for their bridges and did a little experiment on testing the strength of a bridge supported by an arch vs. one that was not.  Finally the kids learned about the triumphal arch and did a worksheet which was brought home.

Geography -- we briefly covered the locations from CCM.

English -- some students did a dictation while others copied sentences from the board.  See lesson 72 in PLL.

Religion-- We learned about the laws of the Church and the students decorated a handout.

Science -- the students enjoyed viewing a jarred shark brought in by Miss S., then had a great time outside playing a food chain game.
